Evolution of desert tortoises debunked -
12-26-2015, 11:55 AM
Jacob spent a lot of time alone with Laban's sheep (See essay below)
New research from almost three years ago claims desert tortoises can hear better underwater. Evolutionists are using this finding to support their claim that land tortoises evolved from sea turtles.

Desert Tortoises Can Hear Better Underwater
by Douglas Main | January 17, 2013 12:54pm ET
Desert tortoises, as their name suggests, don't encounter many large bodies of water. But surprisingly, all turtles, even desert tortoises, can hear better underwater, recent research finds.
"If a desert tortoise decided to stick its head underwater, it could hear better," said Katie Willis, a University of Maryland doctoral student and co-author of a study published online this week in the journal PLoS ONE.
The findings shed light on the evolution of turtles, suggesting they all share an aquatic ancestor, the researchers said....
Land turtles hear via sound vibrating their ear drums. Apparently it works well enough that evolution hasn't selected for a more specialized inner ear cavity, she said, a case of so-called neutral selection. Willis summed it up: "If it ain't broke, don’t fix it."

This much evolution - from sea animals to land animals - is impossible (See essay below)
The problem is this DOES NOT prove evolutionism. In fact it proves the reverse - special creation!
What this study is actually saying is the hearing of desert tortoises has not evolved. You can't use proof that something hasn't evolved as proof that something has evolved, which is exactly what the evolutionists are trying to do.
The only plausible explanation is God created desert tortoises to hear better underwater to prove they didn't evolve from sea turtles.
Even creationists accept variation within a species. A classic example of this is found in Genesis, when Jacob artificially selected the best of Laban's flock by peeling some sticks and putting them in their watering troughs so their offspring would be spotted.
Quote:
Genesis 30:37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Genesis 30:38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
Genesis 30:39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
Genesis 30:40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
Genesis 30:41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
Genesis 30:42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

But the spotted sheep were still sheep. They didn't evolve into goats or cows.
A desert tortoise, however, is not a sea turtle. They are two different kinds. Sea animals were created on the fifth creation day (Genesis 1:20-23) and land animals on the sixth (Genesis 1:24-25). Evolution from sea turtles to desert tortoises is too macro to be micro. No amount of peeled rods cast into the ocean could cause this kind of change.
If the desert tortoise had evolved, it would hear better in the desert. The fact that it can hear better in water is proof of intelligent design by a Creator who knew one day people would question the Genesis creation account.

This is hilarious--how can any researcher know what a turtle hears? Oh, the turtle says, "I can't hear you. Talk a little louder."
These researchers are drawing good pay and playing practical jokes on the public. Once Obama is gone we can say goodbye to phony research.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

The trick is in the marinade (single malt whisky). You have to have your kitchen throw it upside down on a large hot fire and let it cook for hours in its shell.

Amen!
Evolutionists have been obsessed for decades with crushing all opposition to their egregiously bad junk-science religion. They cannot debate the issues intelligently. They rely on indoctrination and censorship of all opposing viewpoints.
The cult of evolutionism proves that outside of their fields or affected by peer pressure, scientists are every bit as ignorant and dogmatic as they proclaim their critics to be.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

I need to see evidence of desert fish, too.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.
